The Morning After

"The Morning After" by Maureen McGovern was a song written for the film the Poseidon Adventure, and was awarded Best Original Song at the 45th Academy Awards. It ranked 28th on the Year-End Billboard Hot 100 of my birth year.

There's got to be a morning after
We're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow
And we'll escape the darkness
We won't be searching anymore

I remember including this as part of my 1970s music playlist I labelled "Gurlish Emote," music files courtesy of Limewire. I first knew of McGovern because of her other hit, "We May Never Love Like This Again," theme song to another disaster-themed movie, The Towering Inferno. (I think I saw this movie on betamax.)

Fun Trivia: Maureen McGovern appeared as a nun named Sister Angelina in the movie Airplane!  which I believe I actually saw in the movies when I was a kid. (Thanks, Wikipedia)
